IITians no to overseas offers

India`s Prime Minister`s ambitious the ` Make in India` story seems to be faring good as 4 students of the IIT, Delhi, have reportedly declined overseas offers that would have paid them more than Rs 1 crore annually for local jobs in the core engineering space at a much lower salary. These international companies come every year to the IITs for placements. The overseas companies that seek recruits every year at the institute include Google, Visa, Oracle and Microsoft.The four who have chosen domestic employment will get a fifth of what overseas companies were offering, said one person, marking a radical departure from the usual criterion for job selection — salary. Consulting, finance, technology and ecommerce companies generally comprise majority that come to campus on Day 1.That mix has changed at IIT Delhi with the Narendra Modi government pushing institutes, academia and industry to contribute to Make in India campaign, which seeks to turn India into a hub for manufacturing to generate employment and boost growth.
